POISON IN THEASHES
What the nj. Lebanon Shakers
FOund-Incident in the His
tory eta Quiet Community.

The Mount Lebanon New
York; Shakers are a quiet COM
munity, secluded from the fret
and worry Of the outside world.
They are widely known, how
ever, for their strict honor and
probity in business.
The Shakers believe that ma
ture has remedy for every dis
ease. A few have been found
the rest are as yet unknown.
Many were discovered by acct
dent. Others came to light as
the result ofpatient experiment
and research.
Nervous Dyspepsia Is a COM
paratively aeaO disease, growing
out of the conditions of modern
life. 1t is q joint affection of
the digestive organs and of the
nervous system. These two
were formerly treated as sepa-
rate ailments, and it was left
for the clear-sighted Shakers
to prove that the basis of this
terrible and often fatal comph-
cation lies chiefly in the disord-
cred and depraved functions of
digestion and nutrition. They
reasoned thus:-"If we can in
duce the stomach to do it's
work, and stimulate the excre-
tive organs to drive out of the
body the poisonous waste mat
tiers which remain after the life
giving elements of the food
have been absorbed, we shall
have conquered Nervous Dys-
pepsia and Nervous Exhaust
ion. And they were right.
Knowing the infallible power
of Shaker Extract (Seigel's
Syrup in less complicated
though similar diseases,
they resolved to test it fully
in this. To leave no ground
for doubt they prescribed the
remedy in hundreds of cases
which had been pronounced In
curable-with perfect success
in every instance where their
directions as to living and diet
were scrupulously followed.

HIDING FROM THE INDIANS.

One day. a hundred and fifty years
ago. just at nightfall. a frightened boy
drove the cattle into the Norris yard.

were very near.
The men hurried to get their guns
and powder. The women hid the old
silver that had come with them from
their English home at Epping. And

Her mother kissed her and made
them as comfortable as she could,
thankful that her little daughter was
so very small. Dolly promised that
she would not come out until she was
sure the Indians had gone. But the time
was long. and she trembled and wept al
the dreadful sounds she heard. Once she
peeped out through bit of clear glass,
but fell back and shut her eyes. A,
last the dreadful sounds ceased. and
she heard Mr.. Lawrence and Captain
Webster talking. and there were othel
voices she knew. Then the door was
opened and the wee tiny babies lifted
out from their nest of pillows still fas

OATS AND MATRlMONY.
The Connection Existing Between Them
Among the 1ransylvanian Saxons-


When the waving surface of the
green oat-fields begins 70 assume
golden tint, when the swelling heads
of Indian corn hang heavy on their
stalks, and the sweating peasant pre-
pares for the last act of his hard sum-
mer labor. then also do the good-wives
in the village begin to talk of matters
which have been lying dormant till
now.
Well-infOrmed people may have
limited before that such and such
youth had been seen more than once
stepping in at the gate of the red or
green house in the long village street,
and more than one gossip had been
ready to identify the speckled carna-
tons adorning the hat of some youth
ful Konrad or Thomas as having been
grown in the garden of certain Anna
or Maria but after all. these had been
but mere conjectures, for nothing pos
tive could be known as yet, and ILL
natured people were apt to console

Katherine's Day was long way off,
and that there is many slip 'twixt
cup and lip.
But now the great day will dispel all
doubt, and put an end to surmise, is
approa ching-that day which will de-
stroy SO many illusions and fulfill so
few; for now the sun has given the last
| touch to the opening grain, and soon
the golden sheaves are lying piled to-

fields, only waiting 10 be carted away.
Then one evening when the sun is sink
ing low on the horizon. and clouds of
dust along the high-road announce the
! approach of the returning cattle, a
drum is heard in the village street,
and voice proclaims aloud that 'to-
morrow the oats are to be fetched

spread throughout the village; the cry
is taken up and repeated from mouth

ceive any thing particularly thrilling
about this intelligence, having no rea.
son to suppose the bringing in of oats
to be in any way more interesting than
the carting of potatoes or wheat; and
20 the majority of landowners the
thought of to-morrow's work is chiefly
connected with dry. prosaic details

You have noticed. of course, how peo-

something somebody has given you.
They are surprised and they envy you.

themselves, what on earth ANYBODY
could see in you to give you any thing
SO handsome. Unless it is your hus-
band. Then they smile and wonder
what he has been doing that his con-
science needs rest. But if you'll
notice. you'll find that people
who get many presents have
many friends. You may have
many friends and get precious few
presents. Presents make friends;
friends don't make presents. Married
people increase the circle of their
friends with every anniversary of their
wedding. because the presents get
handsomer and more expensive. You

How did you do it?'' burst out a

We'll, remember as we'll as if it

The wife nodded and smiled.

You haven't forgotten. love, have

The wife nodded again.
.'She began writing in the dust with
the point of her parasol. You recall it,
sweet, don't you?'
The wife nodded again.
''She wrote her name, Minnie. and
said let me put the other name to it.

Smith-after it."

maid who was beaming in suspicious
way on tall chap with blonde mus
